Brian's Motivation In Hatchet

This was an incredible thing for Brian to do considering he used to be a city person. Living in the wilderness for so long helped him in ways though like patience and it also helped him physically. Overall, he realized that you have to work hard to survive in the wilderness. While Brian was living out his days in the wilderness, he had many realizations.

In the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen the main character Brian faces many adversities. While Brian was flying a plane to go see his dad in Canada the pilot had a heart attack and Brian had to safely land the plane. Now he is all alone in the wilderness. The three adversities that Brian faced was flying the plane after the pilot died, making a fire, and making hunting weapons.

In the book Hatchet when Brian first get fire is when he is asleep and a porcupine comes and Brian throws the hatchet at the porcupine. The thing was Brian missed and sent the hatchet flying at the wall. Then the porcupine sent quills at Brian into his leg. The next morning  Brian looked at the wall and saw sparks marks and then he thought if he hit the wall with the hatchet than he could start fire.  In  Survival by the Numbers Peter said,”What are  priorities – fire first or shelter?”  Peter said that you have to have fire. Brian had to use fire a lot in the book.

He uses the shelter to protect him from the rain and some animals. After he builds the shelter, Brian uses his hatchet to make spears and arrows.

First, he figures out that he needs some paper so he takes his 20-dollar bill and tries to burn it. Unfortunately, the bill just burns right out and leaves him with no fire. After that, he takes his hatchet and cuts small pieces of bark. Then he piles them up under twigs. Then he takes his hatchet and hits a rock with a great blow and sparks catch the bark on fire. He hits another blow and the sparks catch the twigs on fire. Therefore, he has a fire. This process shows that whatever Brian sets his mind to he can do it. About two months later Brian went to the bottom of the lake to see if there was anything useful in the plane. He brought up a survival package. There were many useful things in there like bandages and matches. Couple months later, just before winter was going to hit a man shows up in a plane.

is full of interest unlike other survival novels like Robinson Crueso. I was impressed by Brian's inner growth as he struggles to survive in the wilderness. He learned anger and blaming oneself doesn't help anything to be better. Also, he got the ability to think deep and thanking attitude to foods. Unfortunately, the end was so sudden.

He could have stopped at the berries but he went the extra mile to hunt for birds & fish.

He was struck by a porcupine after he threw his hatchet at it. The spikes of the porcupine were all up his leg and it was very painful for him. After Brian took each and every spike out of him he just felt as though he could not survive and he just sat down and cried. He cried for a very long time, and after he realized that he did not accomplish anything, and that he was not going to get anything done by sitting down and crying about it.
